HOMEMADE PAN DE SAL
You will need:
1 cup lukewarm milk (diluted 1:1)
1/4 cup refined sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 pieces eggs
3 1/2 to 4 cups bread flour (or all-purpose flour)
Here's how:
Mix together milk, sugar and salt until dissolved.
Sprinkle yeast in milk mixture and stir until well mixed.
Stir in eggs, then margarine.
Add flour and stir, then handle the dough with your hands.
When the dough starts to leave the sides of the bowl, transfer it onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead until the dough is smooth, elastic and non-sticking (about 15 minutes).
Shape the dough into two equal cylinder or "baston". Roll in breadcrumbs.
With a knife, cut each baston into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion in breadcrumbs.
Place on greased baking sheet and let rise till double (20 to 30 minutes).
Bake in preheated 400oF oven for 12 minutes or until bread is slightly brown.
